@mecha82 : at least they didn’t get squatted …

Current stat lines only matter if you want to play in tournaments or are playing in a group who only want to use ‘official’ rules.
Anything else is simply a matter of buying enough while stock lasts for any given faction within any given (fictional) rules system, because businesses will only ever support whatever is profitable.

As such the only way for the ‘classic’ spacemarine to remain in stock is if enough players keep buying them.
Anything else and they will get retired/replaced by whatever sells best.

Of course the stat lines kind of create a self fullfilling prophecy if the primaris offer a better return on investment compared to the ‘classics’. But at the same time it would be odd if the ‘new’ variants weren’t better when the fluff says they are.

Isn’t Horus himself called ‘the warmaster’ ?
Or does that title apply to both Horus and Abbadon (sp?) ?
